-- Thanks. I've just tested this by installing mm 2.0.13 on a test server and then then moving up to v2.1.4. So it does seem that with my production 2.0.13 install I have 5 lines in my NIS aliases files but for the 2.1.4 install this file will have 450 extra lines - 10 for each of my 45 mailing list!
